(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Xie Junxiao is from Beitun Village in Luancheng County, Hebei Province. The scoundrels from the local police station and the police in the detention center subjected this practitioner to many different torture methods. These savagely cruel people beat him and broke his ribs twice, and abused him so severely that his face became distorted. They urinated on his face and injected ageratum [a type of stinging liquid] into his ears. They also wiped another kind of stinging liquid containing menthol, garlic and small hot chili peppers onto his private parts. Many kinds of extremely devastating and humiliating tortures were used. Xie was illegally sentenced to six years of imprisonment and later diagnosed with leukemia and gallstones.
At about 7:00 p.m. on January 25, 2002, persons from the Liulintun police station arrested me and tied me onto a metal chair at the police station. Because I seldom answered their questions, the driver who worked for the police station, nicknamed Lao Hei, ruthlessly attacked me. He slapped me on the face more than 30 times until Fang Zefeng stopped him. At around 9:30 the next day, Fang Zefeng urged Zhang Jianli and Wu Mengqiang to tie me up with rope and cuff my hands. They hung me in the detention room for over three hours. My face turned extremely pale, my heart began to palpitate, I became dizzy and my whole body shivered all over. When I was laid down I had already lost the feeling in my hands and my whole body was numb. They used a cotton-batted quilt to warm my body and hands. Three days later, at 9:00 a.m., I was sent to Luancheng County Detention Center, and was locked up in cell 11, where the ribs on my left side were fractured from being kicked by a sex offender from Shijiazhuang City. On February 14, 2002 I was released on bail.
On April 15, 2002 while working in the field in north Dongchai Village, Zhang Jiantang, Xue Xiushu, and others from the local police station arrested me. I was imprisoned in cell 7 in the detention center. The cell head was Tong Haitao from Tongmeilu Village in Yuanshi County. Tong incited the criminals to "wash" me twice a day with cold water by pouring 30 to 40 basins of cold water on me, making it difficult for me to take a breath. Zhao Qingzhou from Buluoying, and Sun Yuehui from the Bailin suburb in Shijiazhuang City each urinated on me once. Sometimes, after taking off my clothes and "washing" me, they would beat and kick me. Zhao Yubo from Cuijiaying Village fiercely stepped on my back. Sometimes they would "wash" me with my clothes on and after washing, they would drag me close to the electric fan to blow my clothes dry.
Zhu Wenge from Zhujiazhuang Village, Xu Yuelai from Hubei Province, and Zhao Qingzhou from Buluoying frequently kicked and beat me mercilessly. I don't remember how many times each day they hit my head with the bottom of their shoes. Urged on by the cell head Tong Haitao, individuals named Sun Yuehui and Hao Shubin from West Yangling Village often hit me on the chest. My ribs were fractured, and it was so painful that I dared not touch my chest. If I breathed too deeply, my chest would hurt. Tong Haitao inserted a burning cigarette into my right nostril. This caused a constant nosebleed. Tong tied me with towels onto a metal bar beside the wall. My arms and legs were tied so tightly that it blocked my blood circulation. They did this several times. Once I was tied so tightly that my face became extremely pale and I was very weak. I felt flustered and sick, and almost threw up and had diarrhea. I requested to use the restroom, but was refused. Tong Haitao asked someone to put some old newspaper on the floor and told Li Shuangchen's nephew that if I had a bowel movement he should wipe the excrement into my mouth. I had to hold it. When it was too hard for me to withstand it, I struggled hard. Because I was so weak, I lay down on the cement floor. Tong ordered Li's nephew to urinate on my face. The urine even flowed into my mouth. Wang Jiyong (from Beichang Village) poured two small bottles full of ageratum into my right ear. Gu Hongbin put ants in both my ears and on my body.
Tong ordered someone to push me down and hold me down, while fiercely hitting my buttocks with the bottom of his shoes over 30 times, until he was exhausted. They also hit me on the face with their shoes, distorting my face in the process. After hitting me, they bent my arms and hung me upside down with towels from the heater pipe. Tong further ordered Li Shuangchen's nephew to wipe a stinging liquid (containing menthol), garlic and small hot chili peppers onto my private parts. He ordered Hao Shubin and Xie Xinggui to hold my feet and drag me along the floor, using me as a mop to clean the floor. This occurred at least five times.
Everything I stated above is fact. Just because I persisted in my belief, they tortured me as such. Where is the justice? It lasted until I was sentenced to six years.
On January 16, 2003 with my sick body, I left Shijiazhuang City and was sent to Team 1 of Jidong Prison in Tangshan City. As I was tortured so severely, I got many illnesses and suffered from serious anemia. After a medical bone exam at three hospitals in Tangshan City, the physicians finally concluded that I suffered from acute leukemia and also gallstones. I have been released on bail for medical treatment.
